    I think it comes less from raw punching power. An out boxer like him gets knockouts because he’s a precise puncher. He has good timing, knows how to put opponents into positions favorable to him.

      That's every boxer early in their career. I still doubt he has huge power. AJ had Whyte staggering all round the ring in round 1. Fury spent most of the fight being pushed back by Whyte and gave Whyte a huge push after the uppercut which probably ruined his chances of getting up.
      I don't think Fury is a monster puncher 'But he for sure hits with decent enough power'. In the Wilder fight with both fighters fatigued and under heavy bombardment, I honestly think in that 3rd fight ether fighter could of went at anytime. If there is ever a 4th Wilder vs Fury fight, it will be the same.

      With Whyte? He could of potentially been damaged coming into the Fury fight.

      Dillian Whyte has been involved in wars, been decked and brutally knocked out before finally getting his fight with Fury.

      I have not watched back the knock down, so I don't know how bad the push was. Still I don't think a push would of damaged him even more 'The uppercut did most of the damage'.

        I watched some of his earlier fights and he went forward a lot more, looking to knock guys out.. of course he can punch and hurt you, he's a big man.

          I would say Fury has learnt how to put his weight behind his punches now. Too often in the past he was on his toes and the backfoot when punching. So credit to him.

          With Wilder he didn't really demonstrate great power - because Wilder was out on his feet both times and Fury took ages to finish him. You can imagine someone like (Mike) Tyson after he gets someone that hurt - the fight is over within 30 seconds

          As for Whyte it was a hard push with both arms. Whyte was already badly stunned so he couldn't protect himself on the fall. I don't know if he did hit his head on the canvas but if he had and been seriously injured Fury could have been in big trouble for that. That's a pretty dangerous thing to do. They should stop boxers doing that in future fights just for people's safety. They've always let it go with one armed pushes in the past and it's now become common. If they let this one go - everybody will start shoving with 2 hands

            Im going to say this for the Russian: That was one hell of an uppercut he laid on Whyte! It not only had "eyes" but ears and nose! for whyte lol. I mean it was an incredible punch... from a technical perspective It was a lot better than what Fury hit him with. Short, compact, beautiful shift into the proper weighted position... I mean it could have been Hercules and he would have fell, even the Iranian Hulk!!!
